By the Light of the Rising Sun

OK, I decided on impulse to grab my camera on the way out the door last week, I thought I had missed the sunrise because the color was fading as I left home. Well as I crossed near to this Temple I saw that the light was getting better again, so I pulled in and grabbed a few quick shots. I liked this one the most.



My Brother has started playing with some Post Processing technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range) it involves taking several images that are exposed differently to create an image that has detail in both the shadow and the highlight areas. Below are a sampling of the shots I sent. (There are 3 here and I think I sent him 5) and the last is his HDR. Which didn't come out so good. We are still learning, It is kind of a neat shot but "Posterized" a little much.

I think we ended up with not enough dynamic range to work with because I never got the foreground light enough. I dunno....

Over Exposed Sky

Pretty Good exposure of Sky and under exposed Foreground

Under Exposed Everything, except for the highlights of the sky.
